Fashion! 2

Hi all :) Today is an update of our haul :) I got my Sith Lord eyes! :) Also we got a parcel today from our cousins in America :) Photos from that parcel will be shared later in this blog post :)

First up is Diamond Joe wearing his new glasses. He needs them for watching tv/films and playing video games. Mama took this photo last night when we were watching a film. This is the film blankie that we have. It covers all four of us! It's snuggly, cosy and warm and it's purple! :)

 Next up is me, hiding behind the blankie when watching a film. It was scary in places.

 Next is my Halloween shirt :)

The eyes in "Kooky" move!

Diamond Joe got a watch from one of Mama's friends :)

I got a sparklie batman symbol necklace! :D

It's sparklie!

Next is an ear cuff :) This just sits on my ear, not like the boys and their piercings.

Flowers and sparklie!

Next is a crown! :) It flashes :)

Just call me Princess Raven 

Next up is one of my favourite photos! Me in my Sith Lord eyes! :) The boys have taken to calling me Darth Nevermore! :D I LOVE them :) I love how they change how I look and I'm so happy you can still see the purple in my eyes :)

Hi, I'm Darth Nevermore

Next up is photographs of the goodies we got from our cousins in America. There were some items in the box for Mama and some for us :) Below are the goodies for us and there were lots! The boxie was huge! Some stuff in it were what Mama had got because we couldn't get them here, some of it is from our cousins and aunty, okay so most of it is from our cousins and aunty.

First photograph is Thomas Marshal and the boxie! It had My Little Pony stickers on it! So cute :)

Silly Lion tried to lift it.

 First out of the boxie was 3 collector covers of an American tv guide magazine, 3 covers from the Game of Thrones show.

Next is some pretty fabric, ribbon and goodies for our art journal :) Mama said she can make clothes for us from the fabric!

The bunny rabbit fabric is my favourite :)

Bunnies and Gnomes

Lots of pretty ribbon! :) Mama said she can make bows for me from the ribbon.

Goodies for our art journal. They're PURPLE!

Next is something odd in the boxie, we had no idea what it was. Then Mama explained that you put them in water and they grow! :) We're going to do it tomorrow when we get some bowls for them and we will take update photos of them.

I got a duckie! A princess duckie! :) I've called her Princess Leia and she sits on top of the Dalek that Thomas Marshal made on one of his visits to the Armagh Planetarium.

My duckie, Princess Leia

We got a Darth Vader outfit and Star Wars outfit :) We have a Darth Vader outfit but the lightsaber and cloak will come in handy and it's good for me to have a spare shirt :) They won't go to waste.

I got bracelets! Lots of pretty bracelets :) Some there were two of, so that me and Mama have matching ones! How cool is that? :)

Thomas Marshal hasn't got any pj's yet these Halloween boxers arrived :) They'll do him for his pj's :) He's a tough Lion he doesn't need a top *giggles*

Next are photos of me with my small fry bunny :) I call her Lenore (after Edgar Allan Poe's poem). Mama had a different name for her but I changed it. Clothes for her were in the boxie.

Thomas Marshal in his biker outfit :) The motorcycle chaps, shirt and bandanna, Mama had ordered from aunty, because we couldn't get those items here. He already had the biker jacket and the waistcoat that goes over it. Mama is going to create a biker patch for him and it's going to be sewn on the back of the waistcoat :) Thomas Marshal says he wants a 3 piece biker patch! Anyway he's wearing his Bane combats under the motorcycle chaps. Time for photos :)

His mane looks like a beardy!

Yesterday's adventure to the seaside!

Yesterday I went on a BIG adventure! :) Bunny took me to the seaside! :) We went back to Newcastle Co. Down. We got on a big coach, we met up with the coach in Armagh, shortly after 10am and I crawled out of my bag and sat looking out of the window. Lady next to Bunny asked who I was, I said "Hi, I'm Thomas Marshal".  She said how lovely I am and then showed the ladies in front, who then showed them in front of them! I went around the whole bus! I kept jumping up so Bunny could see I was okay. Then I was given back to Bunny, I gave her a big hug :) I wasn't scared but I don't like being out of sight of Bunny.

The coach went along the Mourne Coastal Route, it takes longer but it is pretty! I got to see lovely houses and the seaside! People who were walking or running waved at me :) We arrived in Newcastle around midday. When we got off the coach a lady said she had to take a picture of us, I wanted to hide but she wouldn't let me, so I smiled. Bunny said it might be in one of the local papers, she said she'll keep an eye out for the photograph and cut out the photo for my art journal :)

First stop was the toilets because I had to go potty REALLY badly! Then outside of Newcastle Centre was this war memorial it was a Lion so I took a photograph of it.

Then we went to a café I got some water and Bunny got a coffee. She didn't get finishing her coffee because I was wanting to go to the Amusement Arcade. It was loads of fun! It was called Kent Amusements.  I went on rides and played games :) My favourite one was the two below in the videos and also I got to go on the merry-go-round but because there were other children on it Bunny just took a photo of me on it. I also went on tea cups but I didn't like it very much.

This one was my first amusement arcade ride I loved it :) It was fun.

This was my second amusement arcade ride, a spaceship! :) It was a bit scary at times because I couldn't see Bunny all the time but it was still fun :)

On the way to get my pocket money changed into change for the games I saw a security guard I waved at him and he nodded his head back at me :) He was really big, not as big as Bane but still big.  I played whack-a-snake, it was fun hitting the snakes on the head :) Then I played a game shooting balls into a hoop, it was hard to do but it was still fun :) I had to pull a monkey's finger! That was a strange game but it was fun too. Then I spent £2 in 2ps playing a sliding coin game. It was fun to watch the 2ps fall off the ledge. After an hour in the amusement arcade Bunny said it was time to go. So I went to the ticket eating machine and I had won 164 tickets! I then had to press a button that printed out a receipt and I went to the prize claim area and stood for ages looking at all the prizes. Then I saw what I wanted, I asked Bunny if I had enough and I did! I asked the man for a red skull bracelet and I still had some prize tickets left so I got some random sweets. Bunny took a photo when we got back to her burrow, so you'll see it further down in this post.

Next we went to a sweet shop and I got a red slushie, I told the lady I never had a slushie before and she smiled and gave me a red straw too. We sat down on a bench near the seaside and I drank/ate my red slushie. My head started to hurt LOTS! Bunny laughed and said I had brain freeze, it happens when you eat something really cold too fast. She kept laughing and said it was too cute that I got brain freeze. It wasn't funny! Then I gave her some of my slushie and she got brain freeze too! I laughed at her :) It was fun.

Next we went for a walk and stopped outside the Newcastle Centre and there was a man doing tricks with footballs. I took a short video of him :) He was funny and silly! He made me laugh.

I waked past him and waved and he bowed at me! <giggles>

Next we went into a Leathercraft shop I wanted a leather choker with my name on it. The lovely lady measured a piece of leather around my neck and told me to come back in 15 minutes. I told her my name and we went for a smoothie and then went back. We had to wait a few minutes but it was soon finished! :) The lady put it around my neck and said I looked very cool :) I smiled and thanked her. I still had some pocket money left so I got a bracelet and necklace :) Then we went into another store and I got some iron-on patches for my bag :) Bunny said she'll iron them onto my bag for me, because irons are very hot and it would be too dangerous for me to do it.

Next we went into a bead shop :) It was very cool seeing all those beads. Bunny said I could choose some beads and she'll make a necklace or bracelet for me with them. I hope she makes both :) Then we went into a sweetie shop and I got a postcard of Newcastle for my art journal and some goodies for Sakura Bunny who is my cousin in America. We both were starting to get hungry so we went into a café. I had some toasted wheaten bread with butter and Bunny got me a bottle of coke, a glass bottle! I'd never seen a glass bottle of coke before.

Then we went for a walk and I saw swans! :)

We met some ladies that were on the coach and chatted to them before walking back to where we were meeting the coach again. We got on the coach in time, because then it started to rain! I crawled into my bag for a nap, I rested my head on my elephant cushion and used my coat as a blankie :)

Bunny woke me up just as we were about to leave the Whistledown Hotel in Warrenpoint because they had sofa and a throne that was luxury! :) Below are photos of me on the sofa and the throne! :)

Then it was time to get back on the coach and go back to Armagh. I crawled into my bag for another nap, I was very sleepy!

When we got back to Bunny's burrow she took photos of me showing off my new leather choker and of the haul I got today :) Below is a photo of me showing my new leather choker with my name on it :)

Next photo is of my haul I got at the amusement arcade :) and of the necklace and bracelet I got at the leathercraft shop. 

The beads I got and the postcard of Newcastle for my art journal. 

The iron-on patches I got for my bag :)

There was a raffle in the Whistledown Hotel and an extra mint at the table :) Bunny took home the raffle tickets and the mint for me :) Bunny didn't win anything at the raffle, but she thought that the tickets would look good in my art journal. I ate the mint when we got back to her burrow, it was lovely :) I kept the wrapper and I'm going to put the raffle tickets and the mint wrapper into my art journal :)

In Newcastle I met a little girl who gave me a seashell! :) I'm going to put it into my art journal :)

I wanted some of my new jewellery on so I took off one of my bracelets and Bunny helped put on my red skull bracelet and the tattoo style bracelet :) I think they look great :)

Bunny said we gave out 35 business cards yesterday! That is a LOT of business cards :) I really had a brilliant time yesterday.

Haul Update

Very excited about this update, I have lots to share with you :) First is a new case for my camera :) Bunny uses an old smartphone for my camera and some new Dice.

Also I got a new bag! It is much bigger than the last one, I can lie down in this one and it rest my head on my elephant cushion :) It has birds on it, I like birds, they're pretty :) Bunny customised it for me with a Lion on one side and a piece of the space rocket fabric (same as my rucksack) on the other side.

 

I also got a new red beaded bracelet! I wear it on same arm as the seashell bracelet :)

I also got a new pendant! 6 tiny red dice with white spots on them inside a cage :) 

I got another necklace from the Alyssa Smith Jewellery  :) Bunny told me it's called Mars after the planet Mars :) It's very pretty :)

Next picture is my outfit for the beach tomorrow! Minus my converse and maybe sunglasses if I need them :D I'm off to the beach tomorrow. The scarf is a baby buff scarf that one of Bunny's friends got for me! It's got spaceships on it and planets! It matches my rucksack :)

Also you can see red dungarees these were plain and boring so I picked out some patches and Bunny very kindly sewed them onto the dungarees for me :)

See that glass pendant around my neck? It's of a lion face! Isn't it very pretty?! A lovely lady made it :) You can see her other things at Diomoglass. The final picture is Bunny holding me to take pic of my bottom! How rude of her, but I didn't want to take the dungarees off and I wouldn't sit still for her. Was only way to show the patches at the back.

I'm very excited about my adventure tomorrow! I LOVE the beach and tomorrow I will drag Bunny into the amusement arcade :)

The Argory

Today we went to The Argory which is a National Trust house and grounds in Co. Armagh. They had The Argory Tartan on today :) Which is when they have pipe bands and pipers and big drums playing.

We arrived around midday and didn't get back until nearly 5:30pm!

Bunny had got me a bandana for today :) You can see me wearing it in the pics below.  I wanted my ears free so Bunny cut them with special piggy scissors, so that the bandanna wouldn't fray. Piggy scissors, that's a funny name! Piggy, Piggy, Oink, Oink OINK! <giggles>

First pic below is of us at the entrance sign post to The Argory :)

 

First place we went too was into the gardens :) And I saw these lovely flowers, we don't know what they're called as The Argory have lots of flowers from the Victorian times.  If you know what they're called please let me know in the comments :)

Then we went into the rose garden :) I spotted another sun dial and I sat on it for a short rest.

Then I saw this small gravestone, I thought it was very unusual, Bunny says there are quite a few of them hidden in the grounds. 

Next we came across a gate house. There is a lot of it on the other side, we didn't go that far, but Bunny said that when we visit again we can go that way and see how far it goes down the other side.

Next up was some tree climbing!! Yes! lots and lots of trees for me to climb! :)

  Then we came across The Argory, the House itself :) Isn't it pretty and big!

Here is a pic of me beside the tall flowers outside of the House. Again we don't know what these are called so if you do know, please mention it in the comments.

Next I ticked off a few more items off the 50 things list :) I made a den (well kind-of, I  found a natural one, that still counts!)

Then I made a stick trail :)

 Then I made a daisy chain! :)

I was tried after all the tree climbing and making things so I took a wee rest on a tree :)

I was getting thirsty so we went into the tea shop and I got a drink of juice :) It was lovely and cold.

I was getting sleepy so I crawled into my bag and had a nap, but I did wake up to hear the band play and I loved the big drum! It was a very LOUD sound :) 

Lots of people spoke to me when I was walking around with Bunny and I handed out loads of business cards! Bunny said we handed out a dozen! That is LOADS!! :)

Then I went back to sleep and woke up back at Bunny's. I got lots of goodies :) Pics below of the haul from today's adventure :)

A keyring for my bag and I got another pin badge for my rucksack :)

I also got a National Trust passport :) The kind lady stamped it for me and I wrote the date underneath it.

I also got a 50 things adventure scrapbook :) We got the first one stamped and a sticker! :) This was got at the start of the adventure.

I also got chocolate insects to eat! :) I'm keeping these to eat later.

I also got a red zip bracelet :) Isn't it unusual? I put it on my leg, because it fits better on my leg.

I also got a tube of beads and Bunny helped me make a bracelet with them :) It's got a ladybird on it! :)

That is the end of today's adventure :) I had loads of fun! Bunny said that I can decorate an envelope she has and I can keep my 50 things adventure scrapbook and my passports in it and put the envelope in my bag so that I always have them with me.
